PUBG Weapons

The items used to survive and fight on the island are called weapons. All weapons differ in characteristics, and if you are aware of these, you can choose the best suitable following your play style.

Different categories of weapons in the game are SMGs, snipers, assault rifles, etc., and each category has pros and cons depending on the game’s mode, situation, and map. For example, snipers are used for targeting from a long distance, but their fire rate is prolonged compared to others. Assault rifles are best suited for medium-range shooting, but many attachments are required to enhance accuracy. Similarly, other weapons have both pros and cons.

Below is the description of different weapons and how much effective they are in different situations:

AWM

The most potent weapon in the category of sniper is AWM. Even if the enemy is wearing a helmet of the maximum level, it can kill him with one headshot. Being so impressive, it is also complicated to find. The only place where you can get it is in the airdrops. 

M416

In the category of assault rifles, the best rifle is M416. Having excellent stability, a higher fire rate, and significant damage, the gun is precious to have. Attachments can be added to it to enhance its performance. M416 is also challenging to find as well. 

UMP9

If we talk about SMG, the most reliable is UMP9. The weapon has good damage, stability, and low recoil. AR and SMG attachments can be attached to enhance their performance. However, the velocity of its bullet is low than other weapons. And its damage is also comparatively low as 9mm ammo is used in it.

S12K

In the shotgun category, the best is S12K, and it has a fast fire rate, excellent ammo capacity, and more significant damage. The attachment that can enhance its performance is the duckbill. But it must be remembered that you must be very close to the opponent to kill him. Moreover, the ammo it uses is 12mm which proves very space-taking for the inventory.

P18C

The pistol with great capacity and speedy fire rate is P18C. It can improve the aim with a red dot. But the damage it deals is lower than other pistols, and it cannot provide much damage to players using protective gear.

Pan

In the category of melee weapons, the best is Pan; having more significant damage and faster swing speed, it is also used for blocking the bullets coming from the backside. But its range is minimal, and you must be close to the enemy to hit him.

PUBG Attachments

The attachments are the tools you can use with your weapons to enhance their performance, accuracy, and damage. These include grips, scopes, muzzles, etc. Every attachment has a different impact on the gun. Applying an extension is based on the mode, playstyle, map, or personal preferences. Below are some rules for choosing the best weapon:

Scopes

The scopes are used to magnify the area and make the visibility clear. The enemies far away from you can be easily targeted using the content. You can choose between 1x to 15x, but the most used are 2x, 3x, and 4x. 

Muzzles

The usage of a flash hider reduces the muzzle flash. The bullet spread, and recoil is reduced as well. You can use the suppressor to reduce the muzzle flash and sound of the firing shots. Using this, you can also not be detected easily. If you want to make your photos accurate and reduce the bullet spread and recoil, you can use the compensator. But if you increase the damage and range, you can use the choke. 

Magazines

To reduce the reload time of the weapon, use the quickdraw magazine. Other magazine types also enhance the capacity of the ammo of the gun. 

Grips

Different types of grips greatly enhance the capabilities of the weapon. The classes are vertical, angled, thumb, half, and lightweight grips. All impact the gun down differently. Such as, ADS speed is increased using the thumb grip, and bullet spread when the player moves is reduced when the laser grip is used.

Stocks

the stocks are also of several kinds and impact the weapon differently. Such as, if you want to reduce the weapon sway, use a cheek pad and tactical stock if the purpose is reducing recoil.

Tricks to Use Attachments Effectively

Below are some tricks by following which you can effectively use attachments:

• Try to find the tools that are compatible with your weapon. Fix the settings to auto attachment, as this will pick only the compatible extensions.
• Try different tools to find which are the best suited for you. You can test the attachments in training mode.
